AutoCAD is the most widely used computer aided drawing and design software developed by American Autodesk Company in the world. Although AutoCAD can be *, and Windows operating system is also more stable, but, there is nothing to exclude unexpected events, such as: illegal operation, power off, "blue screen", and so on, the consequences may be: File errors, crashes, and so on, maybe you work all night so flames, but, There is also a trick to teach you to maximize the cost of redemption! is the use of AutoCAD temporary files!

AutoCAD temporary file extension ac.$, generally, when AutoCAD normal exit, temporary files will also be automatically deleted, but if the AutoCAD error or computer failure, ac.$ file is retained, it is important that it saves the last time automatically saved file information, So we can save the loss by opening the ac.$ file.

How to open a ac.$ file is not mentioned in many articles or monographs, and some of the literature is proposed to change the suffix of the ac.$ file as. dwg, which is virtually impossible to complete under the Windows operating system.

The author's measures are as follows:

First of all should be clear ac.$ file storage location, if the user does not have their own designation, AutoCAD put temporary files in Windows temporary files (possibly C:\Windows\temp). You can change its location by following these instructions:

1. In AutoCAD, select "Tools" → "Options" and click the "File" tab.
2. Click the + sign next to the temporary graphics file location to open the current position.
3. Click Browse, select the folder you want, and click OK to exit.

The second is to return to the DOS operating system, renaming the ac.$ file in DOS is a. dwg file, so double-click the filename, and AutoCAD opens the file. The specific implementation is as follows:

1. Start DOS. If you are a WINDOWS2000/XP system, you can run cmd directly, you can start DOS, or click the "command Prompt" menu in "accessories."
2. Rename the rename command using DOS. As shown in Figure 1, the drawing1.ac$ for DRAWING1.DWG under the name C-Packing directory is the operation.

Finally back to the Windows operating system, double-click the file name can be opened!

A few more words, if the graphics file has been corrupted, AutoCAD itself provides two commands can be repaired to the file, even if the error can not be completely modified, at least to recover some of the files. The two commands are: AUDIT and recover, when you open a graph and get the error file information of AutoCAD unreadable file, enter at the command line: AUDIT, check. When the graphics file cannot be loaded at all, use the Recover command to open the file from the dialog box and fix it, and the result will be displayed in the text window.
